Go behind-the-scenes and below-the-decks of Marineland Dolphin Adventure! Their Behind the Seas Tour offers an exclusive backstage look at our facility and animal habitats, and an opportunity to explore their unique and fascinating history spanning over 75 years.

From their beginnings as an underwater film studio to their new, modern facility, Marineland Dolphin Adventure has been creating memories for generations. Along with their many advancements over the years, guests will learn about Marineland’s pioneering work in aquatic animal research and advancement of life support systems for aquatic environments.

The Behind the Seas tour also features new exhibits with animals native to the Southeast region of the United States, and an opportunity to learn the importance of the Gulf Stream, ecosystems and conservation. Guests will also discover facts about invasive species and their effects on aquatic populations along the eastern seaboard, such as lion fish, green moray eels, jellyfish and lobsters.

Selected works produced during the 2018 St. Augustine Plein Air Paint Out are featured in the main gallery. These original works capture the historic, coastal and architectural beauty of the nation’s oldest city. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

The gallery is open Tuesday to Saturday noon-4 p.m. and Sunday 2-5 p.m.
